In November, 1861, Stonewall jackson had
occupied Winchester. 1t was point danger
ously near the Potomac, and Jackson sought
TO get yet nearer. He made an attack on the
littlo town of Bath, very near the Potomac.
His intention was TO cross the river. But he
was prevented from doing this by Gen. f. w.
Lander, who commanded the Federal forces
in northern Virginia. But he took possession
of Romncy and divided tho Federal forces in
northern Virginia. Then he made Winches-
ter his headquarters during the winter, re-
ciuiting large numbers of mep. In March,
1862, Gen. Joseph e. Johnston evacuated Cen
treville and went nearer Richmond. AT the
same time the Federal Gen. Banks advanced
toward Winchester These two circumstances
induced Jackson to retreat to Woodstock,
forty miles south of Winchester.

This exploring party was surrounded by hos
tile Indians and cut to pieces, only Gen. Ian
der himself escaping. He made five expedi-
tons altogether across the continent, all of
them attended with danger and full of the
clement of the romantic. He was perhaps
the only American who OYER brought back an
unexpended fund from q congressional APP
preparation. Wherever dash and bra
very, as well as correct Judgment, were
required, Lander was to be de-
pended ON. In 1860 he married
the gifted actress, Jean Davenport. In 1861
he offered his services to Gen. Scott, for the
war; sin any capacity, at any time and for
any duty" His offer was accepted, and from
that time on TIL his career closed, all too
early, he was to be found where fighting was.
He was wounded in the leg Mt Edwards
Ferry, but before the wound healed he was
Off at Itomncy, Va, commanding the forces
there. Once he marched 1000 men forty
three miles through deep snow, and without
rest and with almost no food, charged them
upon o Confederate camp at BlComery Gap,
routing it completely. So impetuous was he
that witha single aid he galloped ahead of
his men and demanded and received the Con-
federate commanders sword.
So little is known, however, of this brilliant
and romantic figure that his name is seldom
mentioned in the war "reminiscences which ere

Gen. Lander died SO early in the war. Soon
after the beginning of 1862 his health
failed and he was at length stricken with
atyphoid fever. He applied FOR leave of alb
sence from military duty, but before the per-
nit came, while he was yet waiting, word
came that Jackson's men were in the neigh

At that moment his hour struck. He was
seized with sudden congestion Of the brain
and died in few minutes
He was man Of fine physique and extra

lived ne would have been among the larger
figures of the war.

In criticisms of the campaign of the Shenan-
doah valley it has been said that If the Fed
eral general sent against him had been only
half as swift jackson never would have got
out of that valley alive to join Lee and aid in
driving Mcclellan from the Chickahominy to
the James.
His strength consisted in the swiftness of
his movements and in that firmness of both
purpose and action which gave him the name
of 's5tonewall." 1t was a very unusual MKT
ure of qualities.
Jackson got the name of Stonewall ct the
first battle Of Bull Run, called by tho Con-
federates the battle of Manassas. The general
commanded q brigade there. The Confeder-
ate general Bee had just been repulsed with
his men, and was falling back He met T.
j. jackson coming to his rescue with the first
Confederate brigade.
General" said Bee, "they arc beating US
back
"Slr," said jackson, 'we will give them the
bayonet.'
He had his "war loolSn on at that moment
This advance of Jackson and a similar move
ment on the part of Wade Hampton else
where turned the Confederate defeat into vic
tory at Bull Run. Bee galloped back to his
men. He pointed with his sword to the gen.
eral standing in tho midst of 1900 fixed bay
onets and said in voice full of excitement:
"Lookl there is Jackson standing like a
stone wall. Let us determine to die here and
we viii conquer!"

a small rear guard Of Union troops at Win
chester There was sharp attack. which
was repealed by the Federals, but tho much
Scared veteran Shields was wounded again;
a fragment OF shell b.olso his arm.
Gen. Banks had remained with Shields
division up to th.s tirlo. Du. tho morning of
March 20, feeling certain that Stonowall
jackson woald not attack, ho started to
Washington. Shields thought differently,
however, and with LIS orokon arm in sling
made ready for tho baltic Of Winchester.
At 2 o'clock jackson canc up with bis
whole force, colors flying. He stopped at
Kernstown, three miles south of Winchester.
Ashby had cncamped there with his cavalry
after the slirmish of the day before. Shields
force was upon ridge not far from Kerns-
town, though Jackson did not know how
large it was His men weio wearied out with
marching, but he ordered an immediate and
hot attack on Shields right upon the ridge
near Kernstown. Ho hoped to sever Shields
line and cut him or from Winchester
Jaclsons men charged up the ridge with
great spirit, and were met with vigorous
artillery fire. Shields managed to hold the
Confederates off till he had brought his re-
serves into line; then he attacked with his
whole force.
There was fierce fight. of three hours. and
then the battle of Winchester or Kelnstown
was over. Ssonewall Jackson was defeated.
Ho lost two guns and 200 men in killed,
wounded and prisoners. Shields lost 544 ac-
cordihg TO the record.
Next day the citizens OF Winchester, headed
by the mayor, came out TO bury the Con-
federate dead who had been lying where they
fell upon the bloody field. A deep, wide pit
was dug, and there in one common grave,
several hundred dead men in gray were
buried. The southern writer, Pollard, says
Scarcely a family in the country but had a

Banks returned ut once from Washington
and set Off in pursuit of Jackson, who had re-
treated rapidly, leaving dead and wounded
behind. Banks pursued thirty miles, till his
men were too exhausted to go farther. He
stopped at Woodstock TO rest jackson con-
tinued retreating till he came to Harrison
burg, where he remained till April 10, en-
deavoring to recover himself after the battle
of Kernstown.
1t was q severe Confederate defeat at
Kernstown. But there was no loss Of enthu-
siasm for jackson among his wearied and
fleeing men.
"Why is odd jack better general than
Moses" asked one of his soldiers, conundrum
fashion Answer: Because it took Moses
forty years to lead the Israelites through the

April 10 Jackson crossed the south fork of
the Shenandoah. He was thus within easy
reach of Johnston at Gordonsville.

SHENANDOAH VALLEY CAMPAIGN.

He was Immediately pursued by Gen. James
Shields with division from Banks corps.
1t was evidently Jackson's intention to keep
within communicating distance of Johnston,
and to join him if advisable
Shields pursued jackson as far as New
market. This was point within fifty miles
of Johnston. Shields seemed to be driving
tho one Confederate army to the other. He
suddenly changed his tactics and began a
feigned retreat back to Winchester. He
hoped thus to draw Jackson away from John
ston. The trick was successful. Jackson
turned his face Winchesterward again, fol-
lowing Shields.
Gen. Banks meantime, who was in tho chief
command in this part OF Virginia, had been
ordered by Gen. Mcclellan on tho 10th of
March to take a position near Manassas and
Centreville, points recently evacuated by the
Confederates. Banks was to rebuild the rail-
way passing through Manassas to Washing
ton and keep tho country south Of the Balti-
moro and Ohio railroad free from Confeder-
ates. This included the Shenandoah valley.
Banks prepared TO obey tho order, march
ing his corps to Centroville, leaving Shields
division OF $4,000 men behind to take care of
Jackson. He did not believe Jackson would
attack force SO much superior to his own.
Shields had hoped that Jackson would at
tack him, however. With jackson was Col
Ashby's cavalry, 1900 strong. Jackson's
force, exclusive of Ashby's, is said to have
numbered G,000. Near Winchester Shields
halted and prepared for the attack which he
hoped would be made.
It was March 90, 1862, that Gen. Shields
prepared for battle at Winchester. On the
